TOWIE’s Mario Falcone says he’s hotter than love rival Mark Wright

The Only Way is Essex newcomer Mario Falcone has revealed that he thinks there’s no contest between him and
Mark Wright in the love stakes, despite his girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh cheating on him with Mark just a few weeks ago.

But since the interview, Mark has revealed that he had slept with Lucy just a few weeks ago, prompting Mario to dump Lucy in scenes broadcast at the weekend.

However, when the interview with Now took place, Mario was unaware of his girlfriend’s infidelity and appeared unconcerned by Mark. When asked if he was worried by his fellow Essex star, he scoffed: ‘No, the global recession is a worry. Mark Wright is a pain in the a**e.

‘But itâs something I can deal with. Lucyâs my world. If she wanted to go back to being Markâs doormat, she could, but any girl with common sense would stick with the guy whoâs treating her like a princess, wouldnât she?’

‘Iâm twice the size of him and heâs got a lot of enemies, whereas I havenât been on the show long enough to have my haters. If something horrible did go down on camera I would probably become a national hero!’Â Mario is yet to reach national hero status following his bust-up with Mark and Lucy in the most recent episode of The Only Way Is Essex , but the TOWIE star probably won’t stay single for long now that he’s shared his romantic side with the nation.
